Crystal Pepsi was only available for two glorious years in the early '90s before it was discontinued. Now, 25 years later, the clear soda pop is making its return.

The drink debuts in the USA on August 8th and will be available for eight weeks.

However, our Canadian neighbors to the north have been drinking this nostalgic sugar water since July 7, which is really unfair. I mean, they already have Justin Trudeau. Now they get Crystal Pepsi first? It's not fair.

So my impatient, soda-addicted ass travelled to BuzzFeed Toronto to give you the Crystal Pepsi review you deserve BEFORE YOU CAN EVEN TASTE IT.

It was a crazy time. I had a front row seat to huge multi-million dollar corporations pissing away profits on bad ideas. Sorry, but there’s never going to be a market. It’s just clear Pepsi.

Initial thoughts now?

There’s a weird dissonance. It tastes more syrupy. It really makes it clear that you’re drinking sugar water.

Does it taste different from regular Pepsi?

There is something a little bit different, but I don't care to take another sip and find out exactly what.

Would you get it again?

I can’t fathom getting Crystal Pepsi. It seems like a cruel joke of nature. The real irony is that it looks healthier than regular Pepsi.

Initial thoughts?

Whoa, funky Pepsi.

Does it taste different from regular Pepsi?

It’s not bad, I like it a lot. It’s got a berry tone. It’s missing some caramel flavor.

I still think it’s too close to regular Pepsi-- that’s why it didn’t work in the '90s.

Would you get it again?

Only because the labeling makes you feel '90s.

Initial thoughts?

I like it. I love soda, and this is familiar and safe for me. Do you remember when they sold purple ketchup? It's unsettling at first, but the novelty wins me over in the end.

Does it taste different from regular Pepsi?

At first, it's exactly like Pepsi. The aftertaste is different -- it reminds me of that Swiss soda, Rivella. There's some extra syrup flavor.

Would you get it again?

Definitely. Once you tell me you're going to take something away from me after a few weeks, I get nervous. I will collect enough to fill my hypothetical bomb shelter.

Overall, we gave Crystal Pepsi 3.14/5 on the yum-yum soda rating scale.

Jenny Change / BuzzFeed

We all agreed that it was very similar to regular Pepsi with a syrupy, sweeter aftertaste. Some of us could not get over the dissonance in tasting Pepsi but seeing something clear. Some of us liked the nostalgia factor. The flavor is not exciting or revolutionary, but then again, it's supposed to taste like regular, boring Pepsi. NOW YOU KNOW.
